TERMINAL OPERATIONS

Shorter Turnaround times create a stronger bottom line for you.

NYCT has earned a solid reputation as the New York Harbor's most flexible, service-oriented container terminal.  We are the harbor's only facility with on-site warehousing.  We also have on-site trucking capabilities, specializing in the handling of over-dimensional and out-of-gauge cargo, and will work with you to ensure that every truck that leaves our facility meets DOT weight restrictions. 

Most importantly is how well the wide range of logistical solutions we offer work together, providing a level of synergy you won't find anywhere else in the harbor.

OPERATIONS SPECIFICATIONS:

• Access: While NYCT is located on Staten Island, we're right next to the Goethals Bridge, providing easy access to four major interstate highways and the world's largest, most affluent consumer and business markets.
• Speed: NYCT has been repeatedly recognized for speed and efficiency when it comes to handling truck traffic, an attribute aided by 24 operable gates and 13 working scales.  The faster your trucks move in and out, the more efficient your operations run.
• In-House Trucking: We have preferred relationsips with two of the New York area's best trucking companies, both of which maintain operations on-site at NYCT.  This allows us to provide customers with comprehensive trucking solutions---just another way we bring more value to the process.
• Paperless Gate Operations: We've developed a time-saving terminal control system that eliminates the need for delivery orders.  Customers can check the staus of a particular container-including arrival date, release date, and whether any U.S. Customs or shipping fees are due--24 hours a day via the Internet or touch-tone phone or by speaking to a live dispatcher 12 hours a day.
• Gate Hours: NYCT opens early and remains open later to keep the flow of goods moving more efficiently.
• Terminal Security: NYCT is part of the NY/NJ Sealink, a port-wide, driver security initiative designed to complement our paperless gate operations.
